| Summary: | The results of investigation of strength (<em>s</em><sub>10 %</sub>, <em>s<sub>cr</sub></em>) and deformability (<em>E</em>) characteristics of expanded polystyrene specimens are presented. The results are based on the short-term compression in the organization of long-term creep study. For the experiments identical specimens stored 5 years at ambient temperature (23 ±2)<sub> </sub>°C and relative humidity (50 ±5) % as well specimens after removal long-term loading were used. There were established, that difference between experimental values of stress and initial modulus of tested expanded polystyrene specimens with confidence probability <em>P</em> = 90 % (on-sided test) is negligible (random).<p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ms.19.2.4442">http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ms.19.2.4442</a></p> |
